Desperately need to sell

This has been a crazy summer. 2 years ago I was married and living in my dream house. 1 year ago I was divorced, and moved back in with my parents. A month after I moved into my parents I decided to start looking at houses. ( First mistake). I found a house, spent alot of money and moved in. The house has been nothing but a nightmare. I lost my job, and took a crappy job just to pay the mortgage. Back in May I did some work to the house and I decided to put the house up for sale and see what happens.

3 full price offers on day one. I couldn't believe it. My realtor is new, kinda a friend of mine, and I felt like we were accomplishing something.

Here we are today, the buyer couldn't get financing. I'm scared and nervous. Sometimes I feel my realtor cares other times I don't know what to think.

Here is my dilemma.

The people that own the house behind me, also own the house next to them. I was able to get into contact with them and they told me they can offer me cash for the house, and close quickly.

I am going to talk to them more tonight, but if all goes well, I decided this is what I want to do. I told them we don't need to use realtors , and Aldo gave them a little lower price, the house needs some work,and they know it. It would make it equal to what I would get if they I went through a realtor with, either way it's equal for me.

I was thinking of talking to my realtor and asking her to release the contract. I don't think she will be a jerk, but you never know. I just want to get this done. And this part of my life behind me.

Am I able to fire her, and sell house on my own? Should I ask her ? What should I do?

Thank you

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Co-signing as non-primary resident - effect on size of required downpayment & first time home buyer status?

Contemplating co-signing on a house with my mom and splitting the mortgage payment. I currently have a significantly higher income and much better credit than her. I'm looking at potential home costs and related downpayments but have difficulty using some of the online estimators. From my perspective, this would be somewhat of an investment purchase (I intend to stay in my current location in a different state and contribute to the mortgage), however, for my mom, this would be a primary residence. For purposes of the downpayment size and the type of mortgage arrangement, would it be an investment property or a primary residence? Many thanks for any help. submitted by /u/piercalicious [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/km4hvl/cosigning_as_nonprimary_resident_effect_on_size/
